We had a good time at Hollis place. Appartment is a bit old, but I think description that Hollis gave is fair enough. The area is colorful - appartment is right in the middle of red district. But safe and surprising quite during nights. Sukhumvit is quite expensive to eat out comparing to other Bangkok popular tourist areas, but also the quality is better. Many nice places in soi11, which is 10 mins walk from appartment and Arabic quarter is good for street food.
